Product Description
Photo Boxers James J Jeffries Knock-out by Jack Johnson: Home & Kitchen. Over the past 35 years this private collection was assembled from copy negatives or original negatives obtained from many state historical societies, National Archives, Library Of Congress, and various private sources. His greatest assets were his enormous strength and stamina. Using a technique taught to him by his trainer, former welterweight and middleweight champion Tommy Ryan, Jeffries fought out of a crouch with his left arm extended forward. He was able to absorb tremendous punishment while wearing his opponents down. A natural left-hander, he possessed one-punch knockout power in his left hook. This photo is printed from a copy negative and is in mint condition, 8X10 black and white photograph found in the archives of a private collection. Each photographic print is hand printed from a negative.
